Hebrews 2:14-17

14So, those people who become God's children are human. They have human bodies. Because of that, Jesus himself became human like us. In that way, when he died he was able to destroy the Devil. It is the Devil who has power over death.

15Before, we were like slaves all our lives because we were afraid of death. But now, Jesus' death makes us free.

16It is clear that Jesus did not come to help the angels. He came to help people who are from Abraham's family.

17Because of that, it was necessary for Jesus to become completely like us, his brothers and sisters. He had to become God's servant on our behalf, like God's most important priest. In that way, he could serve God well and be kind to us. He died as a sacrifice so that God could forgive us for our sins.
